Mclaren have broken the most points in a season, it was previously Ferrari with 248. Redbull have also exceeded this figure. Although this was always going to happen this season because of the larger total of points given out.

Lewis Hamilton is currently the driver with the second most points in a season, with 1 more than the 144 that Micheal Schumacher acheived in 2002. However he needs a further 4 points (8th place) to go ahead of Schumachers record point scoring total from his dominating 2004 season.

I’d say he’s been near flawless since well before then. I don’t see him as a complete package yet though, he still doesn’t have that strategy brain although that is less critical now with the new rules and he has the team to do that anyway

Since Lewisâ€™ first win, things keep getting better and better in terms of his position in the WDC. He has had some luck in terms of stewarding and comings-together, but no other driver has evolved as a real potential challenger. Webber, Vettel, Button & Alonso are all within striking distance but they are all making so many mistakes while Lewis has been a rock. The reliability issues at RB + no clear #1 driver is really gifting him the chance to stay close till the Mclaren gets better.

Yer I think that as well, if Red Bull can avoid tearing themselves apart they should still win the championsip but Hamilton is the one driver who’s putting in the consistant results and looks like winning the title unfortunately.

Can’t believe how Alonso’s title charge has fallen apart, appaling luck and some uncharacteristic mistakes mean he needs a blinding second half of the season.

Painful to watch Ads. Hope he and Ferrari come good for us soon.

RBR should really walk this title but they’re giving themselves a headache. If they don’t get on top of things soon it could be Mclaren 07 again. Squabbling, losing focus and ultimately losing a title or two.

After the last few races, Ferrari keeping third in WCC and Alonso getting 3rd in WDC seem like the best they can hope for. Merc. have gained quite a bit on them this race, and they are both more than three full race wins away from Red Bull & McLaren.

They really need to do well in Germany, but that was what they needed to have in the UK already.

Very difficult to watch, indeed. I also hated seeing Alonso and Massa clash. Massa yet again bad first lap due to contact, and race gone. He needs to be more careful. Really wish Alonso had given Massa more space, and just given that position back to Kubica. I guess he was hoping for a save like Hamilton had for Valencia and the stewards were not liking that.

It is sad, now Ferrari seem to have the speed to get good points, but they can’t seem to get a clean race. Alonso does seem a more than a bit frustrated, and Massa too, some of it with Alonso – not a happy team.

I noticed that too – all the drivers seemed very happy that Webber won, not Vettel. Of course, for Hamilton and Button that is clearly helping their WDC & WCC leads, but they did all seem to be happy with the top three, and congratulating Barrichello too.

Mclaren never screwed Alonso over his car. And if the mechanics weren’t exactly smiling seeing his face…Well he started it first. Webber did nothing but be patient and polite. Alonso was exactly the opposite. He made his bed by himself.

McLaren must be loving this, Red Bull is impolding, Ferrari can’t catch a break, Mercedes just plain suck and meanwhile, McLaren just float under the raidar and keep on picking up podiums and wins, they must be laughing there heads off.
